Woofie thank you so much for that info!
When I first got into gardening about 6 or 7 years ago I learned all the Latin names from the get go. Mostly from studying seed and flower catalogs all winter long. And I used to have the most amazingly organized spread sheets with everything I grew. My mom who has been gardening forever sometimes had no clue what I was talking about because she mostly knew common names, or sometimes just the name she grew up hearing.
But as my gardens grew I got too busy and then had less time and energy to devote to the record keeping!
Now I can barely even remember the common names for things, let alone the Latin!
